I believe my car is ABS(1992 DL); I've only owned it a short while, but I remember that was mentioned; though it doesn't feel any different than my 1987 244 or 87 245.

I have numerous Volvo Greenbooks that came with the car, but I was wondering if the information wouldn't be valid since the book is for Brakes 1975--?? (not sure when it was printed). None of my books mention any dates past 1985 (I believe).

Where would the easiest place to buy pads be? autozone, foreign autoparts?

Also, off topic, my driver's side rear brake light goes out when I apply the brakes, but the parking lights all work. All the others work and it appears the bulb is fine, though there seems to be a little corrosion (not too bad) on the contact. Could the corrosion be the problem or would it be a wiring issue?

Finally, is there anything else I should do to the car since I've only owned it less than 1500 miles? (the previous owner was a meticulous DIYer, but the only recent work I know of was that he changed the timing belt)

Thanks again,
Dan
